Need Help With Tuning

[cbates]

Love this game. Love all the hard work that many have put into the mods. My problem is getting the game tuned properly. It's so horrible that it hinders my enjoyment to where I don't want to play anymore.

I've done searches on this forum, and I've noticed others have had similar questions. When someone replies, they usually reply with a link to another thread. Problem is, most of those threads are now dead, so I can't find answers.

In short: Rookie Mode - I kill the computer. I get about 25 hits per game and 12 runs per game and the computer never scores. So I think I must me good enough for "Pro". I switch to that, and the opposite happens. I can't hit anything and it seems like every inning the computer hits at least one home run.

So I try tuning. It seems to do absolutely no good. Since my only concerns are hittin, I try to adjust the sliders on the CPU to -50 for everything. I then do +50 for everything for the user. It doesn't seem to help. So then I go back to rookie mode and do the opposite (-50 for everything related to the user, +50 for everything for the CPU). Nothing seems to help. I would almost swear the tuning doesn't work at all, but am hoping someone can point me in the right direction

Am I missing something?

thanks in advance!

Very understandable. I almost gave up on the PC version for the Xbox and primarily because I was having a hard time hitting HR's with settings that still made the cpu team competitive. I think it's a matter of the right datafile and slider settings. You're welcome to try this particular datafile (unzip to the data subfolder) and I have some sliders I came up with earlier I posted at Operationsports.

There are others there too, but you need to expand the thread timeline in the display options as not many people are posting much anymore.

Also, I don't think that the contact and power affect the cpu the same way it does the human player. I have them turned down pretty far in All-Star mode now and I still get jacked. The effect you want is paying for bad pitches generally.

EDIT: I need to credit MD with the core of this datafile. I've since changed power for hot/cold spots and removed the foul ball PIP.

you just need to tweak tweak tweak, ive been playing around with sliders and different datafile mixes for the last 3 months, and im finally at a place where i feel like i can consistently get realistic results.
